We have one cat. I was always a dog lover and had at least one while growing up on a farm. I always played with puppies and never took to the kittens. When DH and I married he had two inhouse cats. One was outgoing and always sitting on places where I didn't think he should be and the other was very cautious. I absolutely fell in love with Joey the cautious one. We now have one we adopted from the wild who is loved to pieces. She is definitely like a family member.
